RT Report T1 Chapter 3: Methodology - Measuring Progress: Water-related Ecosystems and the SDGs K1 Sustainable Development Goals K1 environmental indicator K1 statistical methodology PB United Nations Environment Programme YR 2023 FD 2023-03 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/42098 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/42098 NO While the Measuring Progress: Environment and the SDGs (2021) report focused on understanding the interlinkages through a statistical correlation analysis, the proposed methodology herein will further develop the statistical correlation analysis of one thematic area into a multivariable analysis by including additional socioeconomic and environmental factors that might impact the relationship between the analysed indicators. The main objective is to use the driver-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) framework to investigate the relationship between actions taken by countries and their impacts on freshwater- and marine-related ecosystems as well as secondary impacts on human well being through the lens of the SDG indicators. The methodology enables analysis of the potential impacts on freshwater- and marine-related ecosystems separately and includes different geographical levels, based on data availability.Full report is available at https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/41997 NO https://www.unep.org/resources/report/measuring-progress-water-related-ecosystems-and-sdgs DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 21, 2026
